Add Local Folder to Knowledge Stores

Add Local Folder to Knowledge Stores

Index a local folder of reference material: $ARGUMENTS

Steps

1. Parse arguments from $ARGUMENTS:

   • Extract the folder path (required, first positional argument)
   • Extract --name parameter (optional, defaults to folder name)

2. Use mcp__agent-knowledge__execute tool with command "store:create":

   • args.name: Store name (from --name or folder basename)
   • args.type: "file"
   • args.source: The folder path

3. Display results showing job ID for background indexing:

✓ Adding folder: /Users/me/my-docs...
✓ Created store: my-docs (e5f6g7h8...)
  Location: ~/.local/share/agent-knowledge/stores/e5f6g7h8.../

🔄 Indexing started in background
   Job ID: job_xyz789abc123

Check status with: /agent-knowledge:check-status job_xyz789abc123
Or view all jobs: /agent-knowledge:check-status

Error Handling

If creation fails (e.g., path doesn't exist, permission denied):

✗ Failed to add folder: [error message]

Common issues:
- Check that the path exists
- Ensure you have read permissions for the folder
- Verify the path is a directory, not a file
- Use absolute paths to avoid ambiguity
